✏️ 5A Grammar in Action! 💬
5A has been working hard to strengthen their grammar skills! Last week, students took notes on Correlative Conjunctions and then teamed up for some fun group practice. 💪📚
They did an amazing job collaborating and getting ready to apply what they learned on their own! 👏

📣 Exciting News in 5A! 🎉
At the start of the school year, our 5th graders wrote letters to their favorite sports teams. We mailed them out and have been eagerly checking the mail ever since! 📬
On Wednesday, we received our first piece of mail back — Brynlee was thrilled to get a special gift from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Volleyball Team! 🏐❤️
Way to go, 5A! We can’t wait to see which teams write back next!
